City are marching towards the Premier League title already and playmaker De Bruyne is stealing the headlines with star striker Sergio Aguero currently suspended.

The fair-haired creator opened the scoring against Bournemouth with a cheeky free-kick that he hit under the jumping wall and thus catching out goalkeeper Artur Boruc.

On 25 minutes the Belgium international was involved again as he slipped through Kelechi Iheanacho who found the exceptional Raheem Sterling to just about squeeze the ball over the line despite Andrew Surman’s best efforts.

Halfway through the second half and the 25-year-old claimed an assist for himself as he slipped through a perfectly weighted pass for Ilkay Gundogan to settle the game at 4-0.

The former Chelsea player has now been involved in 34 goals in just 48 appearances for the Citizens.
